By the way, this reminds me of something - in Ratchet and Clank 3 (a video game) there are some situations where you have to talk to some (thankfully pretty dumb) aliens to get them let you into their buildings and stuff, aaand they speak a language really similar to that, together with making poses that remind a lot of monkeys ;P While you're doing the translation, making the poses and everything, it'd tell you at the bottom what it actually means what they're saying .. aaand it's really fun when you mess up, and figure out that what you just replied to their serious and highly important discussion was something like "I love the smell of daisies in the spring" or such X3 (there are a lot funnier situations too ;P )

Ug unghhul.

(And potatoes, too.)

Heheh. That's almost like primitive aliens, and everybody thinks that their language wo;uld be more highly sofisticated than that. But still, that's pretty funny. It kind of reminds me of the Chinese language, since this one lady from China came into class once, and a part-Chinese kid said hello in Chinese with an extra syllable, and it meant something in the lines of, "I like toast on dog poo." The lady was horriefied. The aliens probably would be, too. XD

Yush, you have to be really careful with Chinese and Japanese, but there are quite some other languages where a little syllable can make a world of difference X3 But yush, it's a lot like that - one wrong word makes the entire conversion go like .. all weird there X3 It's fun imagining it though ^^

Yep, yep. Some words in English also go like that, but they always fall out of my head whenever I think about it. :B

Not that they went through anyway, but just having hundreds of spam postings show up every day in the review queue is a little irritating ^^;
